Cell towers in Drancy (Seine-Saint-Denis)

2 supports are declared underground, in a gallery or a tunnel. For questions about exposure, see the exposure guide.

Most of the town's 51 masts are buildings (44); 2 underground or tunnel sites and 1 bridge or viaduct make up the rest of the mix.

Masts stand at L'Avenir Parisien, 110 rue Roger Salengro, 110/112av Castelnau, 9 rue Pierre Semard, 2 rue de la Haute Borne and Tunnel de Lumen.

Over the past 12 months ANFR recorded 21 new systems here. ANFR has approved one new site that is not live yet, plus additions on 3 existing masts. New: Free Mobile (4G and 5G, including 5G at 3.5 GHz). 37 Bouygues Telecom 5G transmitters are listed as technically operational — installed, but not yet declared commercially in service.

Systems from 1995 are still on the register. Local 5G started with Bouygues Telecom in November 2020; Free Mobile followed in December 2020, SFR followed in December 2020. 2013 was the busiest year, with 98 new systems, most of them 4G.

Most antennas sit on rooftops (44 of 51), so heights stay modest; the tallest support is 57 m at 20 Rue Fernand Pena.

On 3.5 GHz, the fastest 5G band: Bouygues Telecom on 18 of its 20 masts, Free Mobile on 14 of its 18 masts, SFR on 13 of its 15 masts and Orange on 11 of its 14 masts.

1.2 km to the north-west, neighbouring Le Bourget has only 19 masts.

Only one mast carries all four networks.

Among the 36 Seine-Saint-Denis towns with at least five masts, Drancy ranks 6th by mast count.

At 8 km² with 72,390 residents, the commune is dense enough that most antennas sit on rooftops rather than pylons. It is part of the Métropole du Grand Paris intercommunal grouping.

Figures above cover installations declared to ANFR as in service or technically operational, as of October 2026; approved projects are not counted.
